My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like - it's better than yours... it might be made of cauliflower, but it tastes like a chocolate milkshake - thick and creamy and chocolaty - and makes a super satisfying summertime breakfast or post-workout refuel. It's also packed with fiber, nutrients, and protein, and is low in sugar.

The cauliflower might sound like an odd choice for a smoothie, but it is virtually undetectable when blended with all the other ingredients, and it creates a thick and creamy fiber-rich, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous, low-glycemic base for stable blood sugar. Stable blood sugar = stable mood and energy, and over-time a trim waistline.

Super-charged chocolate "milkshake"

-1/2 C steamed and frozen cauliflower florets *(see tip below)

-1/3 C blueberries (fresh or frozen)

-generous handful of greens - I used dandelion this time around, but you could use kale, spinach, or any other greens you have on hand

Method

Add all ingredients to your blender. Top with milk until covered. Blend, taste and adjust flavor/ingredients and re-blend as needed, and enjoy!

*Chop and steam a whole head of cauliflower. Let cool, then freeze in individual portions in baggies....otherwise you'll wind up with a big frozen cauliflower rock, and have to hack off bits of it at a time to use! (Yes, I did this.)
